at the end of that first week, new york city came to him and said, 'mr. morgan, we can't meet our payroll obligations and we're gonna be bankrupt by monday.' and he managed to manufacture $100 million of clearinghouse certificates that essentially kept new york city going through the weekend. c-span: how much... >> guest: it's an amazing story. c-span: ... how much money was he worth when he died at 75 years? >> guest: approximately $80 million. that's a little low, because it was for estate --valued for estate purposes. there was no federal estate tax at the time, but there was a new york state inheritance tax. but it was under $100 million. c-span: how much is that worth today? >> guest: well, you have to multiply by 15 or 20. so if we say it's a $100 million, it would be about $1.5 million to $3 billion. and so it was a lot of money, but not nearly as much as people imagined and not as much as other wealthy men at the time had. morgan had bought out andrew carnegie when he put together us steel in 1901, for $480 million, which carnegie personally got h

i think it's because in towns across the commonwealth of pennsylvania, towns and cities, dallas town, easton, philadelphia and erie, there are certain values that are deeply rooted in these communities. the importance of family, the importance of faith, the importance of community, and the importance of public service, including very much service to this nation. the conviction that freedom is worth defending is one of those convictions and a belief that a cause worth fighting for is not someone else's responsibility. these are the values that have shaped these men and women, their families, their churches and houses of worship, their communities. and these values were exemplified in the lives of our fallen men and women in service. and they'll forever be honored by pennsylvanians as the native sons and daughters of our great commonwealth for their service to the country. and now, mr. president, i will read the names of the men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice for our country in this conflict and senator casey will complete the list that i will now begin. private first cla
